XATUEAL-GAS PROBLEM. iThat the Broad Hippie Purchaser Are ConsideringThe Fuel Rates for tbePuture.

' James C. Boyce, attorney for tho Oil-well and Supply Company of Pittsburg, is a guest at the Bates, having beeu calbitl hero in the interest of tho now Broad Kipple Ratnral-gas Company, which has pur chased the old Broad Ripplo plant. This morning the directors "f the company will meet for the purpose ofrganization. "Our plans are very unsettled to-night," said Mr. Boyce to a Journal reporter, "because, wo have not vet secured all the deeds to the property. V had to organize a stock company before "we could continue the operations, and we liave only gone that far as yet. The plant vras bought in by a purchasing committee, and all the negotiations are not linished. "We will be through to-morrow morning, however." "What are yonr plans for tho f ature!" "There are only three things we can do, and I hardly know what to think about their respective feasibility. In the first place we could sell out to either the Indianapolis company or the Trust, provided either company would buy. We would be only too glad to do so, but from present indications I hardly think such a sale will occur. We might lease our plant to either, which is also a course upon which I do'not place, much dependence. r Of course, we would be only too happy to lease, but wo would require a five-year contract. 'Jfbere is no doubt but what we could lease on ono year's time, with an option for the future, but weSvill not do that." "should either of these two courses fail what will be done?" "1 see only one thing, and that would bo lor us to enlarge the plant ourselves, sink more well: and at once put iras on tho market as a rival company. That would De simply a matter of self-protection. You 'Be we have the Wencott mortgage hanging over us, and the interest must bo paid. "We could not afford to let tho plant lie idle, and if we cannot sell or lease on terms satisfactory to ourselves, we will, as 1 said, ell gas ourselves." v "Are you satisfied that another company could thrive in this city?" t ''Not at the rate that cas sells for to-day 3n Indiaunpolis. It only takes half au eye to sea that natural gas is being virtually ?;iven away to 3Tour citizens to-da3'. What s the reason that the companies adhere to these low ratesf Why, simply because the enterprise is a new one to the ity and they want .to get their interests well established. It is just like a man who, for example, opens a livery stable in town that has no place of the kind. For the first month or so he lets his . horses go out at 50 cents an hour. When he get3 a trade, up go his prices, and'the people cannot say a word. That is the position of the gas companies in this city today. Gas is cheap, but you may just mark wy word it will not be a lomr time before it is as high as coal. Either prices will have to go up or the companies will go down. It is not reasonable that a corporation, with debts and bills outstanding, with taxes to pay and all of those necessary expenses, can afford to deceive its customers any great length of time. And then there is another thing that I notice, and that is the great waste of gas that Is tolerated. Why. I have been i the parlors of your best citizens, and in them I li.nd natural gas burned in grates. Did you know that on account of the way grates are constructed nearly 'JO per cent, of the heat goes directly np the cninjncyf ft is a fact tLat baa been proved. And then the burners that are used in stoves ?nd furnaces are all improperly made, hey are too large, burn too much gas . and do not give any more eat than if they were smaller. Ko, 1 tell tyou that the natural-gas question has hardly begun to be agitated in Indianapolis. Everything has favored the city in that line, but to make it pay gas fuel should and will soon be as high as coal. It is only a natural sequence of business and investment." THE KXIGIITS OF FRIESDSIJIP. Their Annual Conclave Thus Far Has Done Little Business Banquet and Exhibition Drill. The Knights of Friendship, the high degree of the order of colored people, the United Brotherhood, began their biennial conclave in the city yesterday. This time has been regarded by the membership as one promising to be of much interest to the organization. Every preparation has been mar'e to have the meeting attended by everything that will contribute to the visitors' enjoyment. Yesterday the local membership, headed by the Brotherhood Band; marched down to the Union Station to meet the Littlo Rock, Ark., and other delegations as they continued toarriveon various trains. By evening a number of strangers were here. During the afternoon tho delegates . who had at that time reported met at the lodge-rooms, corner of Delaware ftnd Court streets, for preliminary business. Little beyond this was done, however, as the conclave adjourned to attend the funeral of a Blue Lodge member, Frank Woods, living at No. 14 Athon street. But at 5 o'clock another session was begun. It closed at 6:30 o'clock, in order to give those interested an opportunity to prepare for the grand officers' reception that was to occur at the residence of Henry IJoan on Ellsworth street. The reception was a great success, even though it was rather a private aflair. Those present were Vim. Porter, Memphis, Tenn., knight commander; George Hammels. Little Rock, Ark., senior commander; W. C. "Woodfall. Frankfort, Ky., junior commander; Tlenry Rudd, Indianapolis, . captain of the guard; M. R. Williams, knight recorder and Thomas Turner. Memphis, Tenn.. treasurer. This eveuing a banquet will be given at Tomlinson llall, at which fully 1.500 persons aro expected to be present. Friday afternoon there will be the prize drill in which a largo number of camps will participate Each camp will be permitted to furnish but twelve men for drill. Tb-day an excursion will be run over the C., II. & I. from Cincinnati, and the Louisville representation, that is also expected to-day, will probably number 1,500. Other delegations will continue to come in from Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas for the grand exhibition on Friday. Cowardly Assassination. Apheville. X. C, July 23. CoL Roger J. 1 age. a prominent lawyer and editor of the limes-Register, at Marion, N. C. was fihot and instantly killed, nt that place, last night, just alter alighting from tho midnight train, which brought him from Round Knob. He had gone a hundred yards from the station, and was leaning on the arm of Judge Haywood, of Texas, while on his left was another friend, when eomo one came up behind him and shot him through the neck, which was broken by the ball. His assailant ran, mounted a horse and fled toe town. A coroner's inquest was hurriedly held, renderiug a verdict of death by a person unknown. A young man had threatened to kill Colonel Page, and was seen following the dead man at the station last night. Quite a crowd had gathered, expecting trouble, and, indeed, the rumor that some one intended injuring Colonel Pago was current in the town, and when the shot was fired at midnight many persons remarked that Colonel Page was in trouble. It is paid that a woman is at the bottom of tho tragedy. "Free-Lunch" and 'Comforter' Trusts. Nnw Yokk. July 23. Two new trusts were announced to-day. Ono is a bed-quilt trust, the two houses which practicallv control the manufacture of "comforters1"' having pooled their interests. The price of the quilts, it is said, will be advanced about 2a percent. The other is a free-lunch trust. The Knickerbocker Bean Company proposes to supply all the sa-'Tons in the city with the materials for iLichcs. The company is absorbing many of the "routes'? of individuals who have been supplying the saloons in their vicinity, and in cases where the small fry refuse to ruako way for the big concern the latter threatens to supply the saloons at half the prices now prevailing, and thus drive the individual purveyors out of the business. Burke Fights Extadltlon. Wlvnipko. Manitoba, July 23. Burked J?TMTers this morning. secured from Judge William a writ of certiorari. This step was deemed necessary in view of the fact that Judge Bain was going east to the death-bed of his father, and it was necessary to ) all hU paper la the case certified

THE TRIXCESS OF WALES.

The Enthusiastic Greeting She Keceires When She Shows Herself in Public. London Globe. A hot sweltering day, when even the Gloucester House goat feels that promenading would be purgatorial and sprawls oa the pavement, xcgardless alike of the prods of his friend tno policeman and the inconvenience of the passers-by. Just the sort of day, it is generally considered, that the Princess is sure to be driving in the park, and when the'park itself is certain to be crowded. So about 6, when the tread-mill of pleasure had momentarily ceased, and the last tea-party had been visited, the horses' heads were turned toward the park, ajid a dense swarm of carriages slowly converged on Hyde Park corner. It may be doubted whether the gatherings in the park of this season are larger than those of tne Jubilee year's, but the veriest sceptic would scarcely maintain that there was much difference between them. Yesterday the carriages might havo been counted by hundreds, had any ono felt an inclination for mental exercise. The Row was liter ally lined at tho corner with rank after rank of equestrians. llie gravel on noin sides was crammed to inconvenience with people wandering about in search of seats, ana other more fortunate ones contemplating them with that keen and assured satisfaction which springs from another's misfortunes. About palf-past 6 the neual waveof expectation passed along the line. Mounted inspectors galloped about, looking important and shouting out instructions. Experimental whips, whose aspirations were more advanced than their execution, found themselves and their horses in the act of petting in the way, and were promptly objurgated on the subject. Then, with much preliminary noise of hoofs and harness, the mounted policeman, who acts as a blue Mercury to the royal carriage, darts violeutly into sight, and behind him come the imposing personages in black and scarlet liveries who condescend to adorn the royal box. Hats fly oil to right and left of them, women are turning and bowing in every direction, dowagers oend and twist regardless of cracking the enamel, audio, tho Princess! Beside her sits tho Duchess of Edinburgh, in gray, and looking much better, and altogether much nicer than of yore, though not called noon to bow quite so often or smile with snch charming grace, as our own Princess. Facing their mother and aunt are the Princesses Louise and Victoria each in yellow and blue, with black hats trimmed with white. Tho Princess herself wore a blue spot toilette, and a bonnet trimmed with lilies and green leaves, and looked altogether sweet. There must bo some extraordinary charm in her very presence, or why does the world again and again rise from its scats and salute even to the lifth time, and why do people push, and turn, and bow again and again, happy if they but see her happier far if they gtt a bow and a smile in return? Ask the Duchess of Rutland, whose heavy carriage was dragging its weary way alongside the gravel; or Mrs. Hume Webster, whose smart barouche got more way on as the stream rolled on: or Lady Hart, who .was recognized aa an old friend as the Princess's carriage passed her victoria. . Lady Bcehra, too, could tell something of the charm of her manner, and Lord Londeaborough made his best salute as she passed. Mrs. Bernard Boere and Mrs. Stirling, driving quietly together, were as keen as tho rest, and Mr. Ilonrv Matthews fixed his pince-nez firmer L as the royal carriage went by. MIC DANA'S MANIA. A Bright Washington Correspondent Who Made Himself Solid. Washington Special in Hartford Post. r-. A tradi tion of Washin gton Newspaper Row in connection with prize lights, concerns no less distinguished an editor than Charles A. Dana, of New York. Two things in which Mr. Dana is especially interested are pugilism and dueling. 1 hey amount almost to a mania with him. Of a hundred articles submitted to him on subjects ranging from mushroom culture to amending the Constitution of the Republic, tho one which ho would select for his most attentive reading would be an account of the latest "scrapping contest" between two middle-weights out in Indiana. At one time the Sun had a well-known journalist as its Washington correspondent, who made its news columns noteworthy by admirable reports of the proceedings of Congress and the serious work of the executive departments. His letters and dispatches were extensively copied, and advertised the paper in a very profitable way. One day this correspondent applied for leave of absence and was granted it. a man from the local force of the home 'office being sent over to take his place. The younster was a green hand at the class of work done in Washington. He had seen almost nothing of legislation in any of its phases; and the routine and personuel of the executive def artmenta was wholly unknown to him. lather important events were on the carpet at this time, and he was painfully conscious of his incapacity to do them justice. While he was thus blundering along, news reached him that a duel was among the things of the near future in Richmond, Va., where two leading politicians had lately passed from words to blows in one of their disputes. A bright idea seized him, and ho dropped everything and bent his steps toward Virginia's capital. A fair supply of brass stood him in good stead, and he found h;s way to the principals in the aflair, and managed to get enough material from them for a column of spicy intorview in the next day's Sun. Next morning, soon after daybreak, the parties met in a wood a short distance from the city and exchanged shots. The correspondent had not been invited to; the entertainment, but he was there all the same, having dogged the footsteps of everybody concerned, and sat up all night to be sure and miss nothing. He perched on a fence at a short distance, noted every word and look, evey motion of hand and eyo of tho duelists, the seconds and their surgeons. That afternoon he managed to get another interview with each principal, and the next morning's Sun contained not only tho exclusive account of the occurrence, but one so admirably circumstantial that, when Mr. Dana read it in print, ho sent for his managing editor. Who did this Richmond duel?" "Mr. Blank." "What is he doing down there! I thought he was a local reporter." 'He was sent to Washington to take the place of Mr. Dash, who has gone oil' for his vacation. I am sorry Blank should have neglected his duties just at this busy time and gone down to Richmond without permission, but I suppose" Neglect his duties!" roared Mr. Dana. "Raise his salary $15 a week, and tell him his place is permanent. That's the kind of a man we want in Washington. He did right in assumingthe responsibility. It takes a born journalist to know enough to make a choice between a stupid batch of government news and a lirst-class duel story like that." C AMP-MKKTIN G S. They Are Now Mainly Summer Kesorts or Educational Institutions. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. The good, old-fashioned camp-meeting is now but a reminiscence. No moro is there a coming together of tho people at some neighboring camp-ground for a period of a week or ten days each summer for social and religious intercourse. In placo of the old-fashioned meeting has sprung up a modern institution combining the attributes cof a summer resort with those of a religions gathering, but with more of the former than tho latter. Many of them, moreover, havo added educational and amusement features, until now acampxnecting is seldom or never heard of. Notably is this tho case with Chautauqup. Established originally as a religious resort, its plan has beeii entirely changed, and the religious feature, while still maintained, has been entirely overshadowed by the great educational work that is done each season. In other words, Chautauqua, as a camp-meeting is forgotten, but Chautauqua as an educational institution, has a reputation as wide as the world. The same is true of Lakeside, on tho shore of Lake Erie, near Sandusky. O. Here the semblance of religions rule is maintained, a Sunday-school encampment and camp-meeting being features of tho programme each session, but here, as at Chautauqua, tho summer schools constitute the predominating influence, and the same is true of Southern Chautauqua, near Atlanta, and other great institutions founded upon a religions basis. Of the camp-meeting grounds in the immediate neighborhood of Pittsburg not one retains its 01 iginal features. Valle v Camp. Sewickley, Ridgeview and others have all abandoned their original plan. They have not taken up the educational features as yet, but have been transformed into family summer resorts. And this character of retorts ii becoming more popular with each

recurring year. A .religions atmosphere pervades them and religious influences surround them, and people naturally select them for places where their families may spend the summer in quiet enjoyment. With the decadence, too, of tho campmeeting as a religious institution its influence for church work has passed away, and is no longer a factor. There are many isolated meetings still held, but they are not accounted much in the church councils as agencies for work. FAITH AT JOHNSTOWN.

The Flood Survivors Cannot Rise to Job's Sublime Trustfulness. TopuUr Science Monthly. In one of the dispatches received by the New York Times from the scene of the disaster it was stated that 6omo persons who had been rescued from the flocM only to find themselves sole survivors of their families had abaudoned all faith in Providence, and had emphasized their change' of mind by casting away their Bibles. This affords an illustration of a kind of faith that never should have existed. These persons had evidently cherished the idea that, if they tried to live religiously. Providence would see that they did not suffer from the effects either of their own or ot! others' carelessness; and that natural agencies of a destructive character would in some mysterious way be instructed to pass them over, even while causing havoc all around. This expectation having been falsified by facts, their faith in the divine government is not only shaken but destroyed. Their stand-point is manifestly a less reasonable and noble one than that of the patriarch Job, who in the depth of his trouble could exclaim, "Though He slay mo, yet will I trust Him." Herein lies a lesson for the clergy and for all teachers of youth. The only stable faith is one that reposes upon the order of nature, or at least that fully accepts that order, . and is therefore prepared for all that may flow from it The man who supposes that by an pious observances ho cant to even the smallest extent, guarantee himself or his household from tire or flood, from pestilence, famine, or any form of physical disaster, is virtually a fetich worshiper. The pact he strives to make with tho power ho recognizes is of tho nature of a private bargain, according to the terras of which exceptions to the general working of the natural laws to be made whenever his individual interests seem to require it. That man, on tho other hand, has a rational faith which will never bo put to Bhamc, who, accepting the general scheme of things as something fixed, .and preparing himself for all that mav necessarily flow therefrom, strives to make the best possible life for himself and others. inc elixir of urc Successful Experiments with Doctor Brown. Sequard's Discovery. London Telegraph. Despite the sarcasm, general and professional, with which the recent experiments made by M. Brown-Sequard were greeted. there seems to be. after all. some efiicacy in the ugly elixir vitaj invented by the aged and respected physiologist A youngphysician. Dr. Vanot. who has already been successful iu removing tattoo marks from the skins of several civilized savages, has been induced to test the efficacy of M. BrownScquard's "Life Mixture." He pestled together portions of the flesh tissues of rabbits and cuinea pigs; diluted them with water, and injected the compound thus obtained -into the bodies of three paupers, aged respectively fifty-four, lifty-six and fiixty-eight. The men had never heard of M. Brown-Sequard's solntion, and were merely told that they wero to bo injected with strengthening fluid. "We have Dr. Va riot's word for it that his three patients, who. before being subjected to the wonderful remedy, w'erd weak, worn, emaciated and melancholy, suddenly became strong, fresh and cheerful; took new Yiewsof life, and altogether felt as if they had received a now lease of existence. The experiments failed, however, on two other subjects, but the indefatigable M. Variot is not to be defeated, and he intends to continue his trials, which, in time, will be communicated in all their precision of technical details to the Biological Society. Captain John Allen's Half of the Road. Lewlston (Ms.) Journal. Cftptain John Allen was one of the famOutfmen of the times when the British held possession of Penobscot bay, in tho early part of this century, ne was presented with a sword for gallant conduct in capturing a British privateer. Many stories have been told about the dashing Cap tain. W hi le tho English were in tastme, commanded by General Goslin, Captaiu Jphn had occasion to visit that town. Ho was accompanied by his wife, Sally. On the road near tho neck ho met the General -out on a sleigh-ride. With customary arrogance the General kept the mfddle of the road, expecting Captain John '.to turn out. But our redoubtable Captain only gave the customary half, and when Jthey met there was a halt. After a moment's pause General Gosliu commanded him to turn out aud let him pass, saying: "Do you know who I am?'' No," thundered Captain John. Well," he replied, "I am General Goslin." At that Captain John's ire reached fever heat. "Get np. Sally," said he, and from under the seat he drew the old sword. Unsheathing it, ho waved it aloft. Said he: "Do you know who I urnf" Somewhat surprised at what he saw. General Goslin answered 'No." "Well," said he, "I am Capt. John Allen, and I am going to have half the road!" And he immediately got it. ' ' He Repudiates the Title. Detroit Free Press. : Deacon Richard Smith, tho famous editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, was in a meditative mood. His strong right band stroked tho stubby whito beard which adorned his chin, with a desultory motion. Is this Deacon Richard Smith!" was asked. The day dream of the distinguished journalist was suddenly rent in twain, and ho turned upon his questioner with a degree of lierceness which had nothing in common with his theological title. "Pm no deacon," he said, with startling abruptness. "I'm simply Richard Smith." "Of tho Cincinnati Commercial Gazettef" "Exactly." "'Pho deacon is yours by right of common acceptance," was suggested. "It is not mine by any right," ho replied, with considerablo asperity. "It does not figure in my business." "Notwithstanding that 2ron register from Ohio!" "Notwithstanding. There is a degree of flippancy about the title which has never pleased me. It has been applied to me in a sort of contrary sense which I consider as anything but complimentary." Too Poor to Purchase It. Harper's Magazine for August. . "When Spenser had finished his famous poem of tho "Faerie Queene," he carried it to the Earl of Southampton, tho great patron of the poets of that day. The manuscript being sent up to the Earl, ho read a few pages, and then ordered his servant to give the writer 20. Reading on, he cried, in rapture, "Carry that man another 20." Proceeding further, he exclaimed, "Give him 20 more." But, finally, rolling the manuscript up in a frenzied manner, he cried: "Here, take him back his poem. I am too poor to bu$ it of him." It was for this reason that Spenser never wrote anything else so good as the "Faerie Queene." i - Her Suspicion Confirmed. Boston Transcript. She went to the ticket oflico at the station in tho morning to learn at what time the late morning train started for Opuukaehay Junction. "Twenty minutes to 11," replied the gentlemanly ticket clerk. Her face expressed doubts, but she said nothing and went away. In the afternoon sho came back, and seeing another g. t. c. at tho window, ventured to repeat hcrquerv. "Ten forty," said the clerk.
